DISPLAY-CARD.

Application filed February 25, 1919.

To 0% whom it may concern:

it known that I, ()sonn C. NIELSEN, men of the Unites States, residingat .hicago, in the county of Cool: and State of illinois, have inventednew and useful limarovements in Display-Cards, of which the following isa specification.

This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in display cardsand more particularly to those of the type adapted for the display ofneckties or the like.

An object of this invention is the provision of a card so constructed asto permit a necktie of the four in hand or how type to be readilyadjusted thereto, and when in position will assume the exact positionsuch a tie would assume upon an actual wearer.

A further object of this invention is the provision of a display cardhaving the portrait of a man or woman thereon, whichever the neckwaredisplayed thereon is adapted for, and suliicient of said portrait topermit the neclrware to be displayed thereon to such an extent that theobserver readily note the appearance of such neckwear thereon. inconnection with the portrait and thereby form his or her opinion as tothe dressy effect or appearance of same when applied to individual.

A still further object of this invention is the provision of a displaycard adapted for the display of neckwear in show windows or upon glassshow cases, which usually form part of the counters in the majority ofclothing stores.

With the above and other objects in view this invention resides in thenovel features of construction formations, combinations and arrangementsof parts to be hereinafter more fully described claimed and illustratedby the accompanying drawing in which- Figure 1, is a front elevation ofmy improved display card, illustrating in dotted lines a tie of the fourin hand type dis played thereon.

and 16 is formed in said card 1.1 and extending therethrough anotheropening or V shaped slot 17 which is so located in said card 11, as toappear exactly at the V formation produced by the two converging edges18 of the vest 19 illustrated upon the figure 12 and by Fig. 1 of theaccompanying drawing. The opening or V shaped slot 17 is provided, witha member A which is pointed as clearly illustrated by Fig. 1 of theaccompanying drawing and adapted to engage the fabric of the tie 20illustrated by dotted lines upon the drawing, for the purpose oflimiting the movement of the free ends of said tie 20 within saidopening or V shaped slot- 17 and to hold tie 20 substantially in theposition desired upon the card 11 as clearly illustrated by Fig. 2 ofthe accompanying drawing.

This card 11 has secured to the rear side thereof a strip of suitablematerial 21 which may be secured thereto by any suitable means at oneend thereof as designated by the numeral 22 while the lower portion 23has a tongue 24 stamped therefrom, of sufficient length to engage at oneend thereof the card 11 to which it may be secured by any suitable meansas designated by the numeral 25 and clearly illustrated by Fig. 2 of theaccompanying drawing.

The operation, by which the tie to be displayed, is applied to the card,is as follows The small end of the ordinary four in hand tie is passedthrough the opening 15 from the front side of the card 11 to the rearthereof, then back again from the rear of said card 11 through theopening 16 to the front side of said card 11 and drawn therethroughuntil a suitable length of same extends therefrom to permit thecustomary manipulation of the two ends, a large and small one, wherebythe desired four in hand tie is produced in the customary manner, whichwhen so displayed in connection with the portrait upon the card willdisplay to the observer the exact appearance of said tie when worn by anindividual.

t is to be understood in connectionwith this application, however, thatwhile I have illustrated a iour in hand tie applied'to this card, that 1may use this card for the purpose of displaying bow ties thereon byutilizing the two openings 15 and 16 only eliminating the V shapedopening 17 and that 1 may produce the picture of any object i deemne-essary upon said card to cooperate with the openings therein todisplay my goods in connection therewith in a satisfactory and desirablemanner.

It is now thought that the above description, together with theaccompanying drawing sufliciently sets forth the construction and methodof applying the goods for display upon this card, to enable thosefamiliar with this art to readily understand the construction and methodof applying thereto and the many advantages of the same. It should beunderstood, however, in this connection, that various minor changes inthe detail of construction may be resorted to Within the scope of theappended claims, without departing from or sacrificing any of theadvantages of this invention.

From the foregoing disclosure taken vin connection with the accompanyingdrawing,

tion what I claim as neW and desire tdprotest by Letters Patent, is

l. A display card, a plurality of openings formed therein whereby anartirle may be secured thereto for display upon said card, a V shapedmember adapted to engage the free ends of said article and substantiallyhold said end of said article in spaced relation to the portion of saidarticle engaging the plurality of openings and means for supporting saidcard.

2. A display card, a plurality of openings formed in said card for thereception of an article to be displayed thereon, a ll shaped openingformed in said card in spaced relation to the first mentioned openings,a
